The Creative MuVo S200 is a good little MP3 player. Navigation is a snap with its four-way joystick plus center button, allowing toggling through options and settings with ease. Music is organized in folders, making it easy to group files, although file transfer is not as fast as when using typical USB 2.0 devices. But mind you, this speed is bearable since you won’t be moving more than 512MB (as reviewed) or 1GB of data when syncing music.

A built-in mic is available for recording audio notes, and you can record songs and broadcasts directly from its built-in FM radio. You can also tag your favorite tracks and access them in the “Favorites” menu. Another useful feature is the small PLED (Polymer Light Emitting Diode) display. It’s no colored screen, but it does the job of displaying track details, settings changes and even displaying lyrics!
